| Trolling is so easy. Lol |
The single most important factor in school success or failure - car parking! /s |
Nope No troll! 100 percent sick of inconsiderate, selfish kids raised by inconsiderate, selfish, entitled parents. The behavior of the parents shows up in the kids. It is wretched at my “W” school. Teach your kids respect, manners and kindness. They are not the stars you think they are. Get over yourselves. |
My kid is only a freshman but it does seem kind of fine. |
| OP is either a troll, or self-loathing. Their are some entitled parents are at every school in MCPS, not just the Ws |
Pretty sure all HS have vaping and fights, some even have knives (Churchill, guns (BCC). As to the parking.. yea, it sucks, but you know.. they can always take the bus. -RM parent whose senior parks on the street. I told DC if they don't like having to walk the several minutes to the building, they can always take the bus. DC declined. Shrug. That's DC's choice. |
| Save yourself the headache and move to a more laidback area. Like Olney. Or go private. Stay away from Whitman High school. |
… says the RM mom |
I graduated from a W, and this rings true. There are disproportionate privileged and inconsiderate parents and students at these schools. Incidents like the kids in black face, N* word cards, to more recently a Churchill kid with a knife chasing students around the Whitman parking lot. |
I honestly can't tell whether this post is sincere or not sincere. |
Yes. It’s awful. And the kids are so disrespectful to the teachers. Won’t put away cell phones, talk back, etc. The parents are equally disrespectful. |
But this is a problem at all schools. However, some people do think that W schools don't have these problems, but they'd be wrong. There is a special entitlement of the wealthy. |
| I think some people expect a premium experience out of "W" schools when they are just public schools with large class sizes and little sense of community. Kids everywhere can be terrible IMO. |
yes, but the wealthy have a special type of entitlement/privilege issue. Conversely, a very high FARMs rate school also has specific issues due to high poverty. |
My thoughts exactly! Every school in this area has issues and obnoxious kids and parents. You and your kid need to learn to ignore or deal with it. Or just hide under a rock your whole life. |
